Hi, John! I hope you'll read this message from my friend, Michigan Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin. -- Amy Klobuchar

Colin Allred

John --

I want to take a few minutes to tell you about my decision to run for Senate in the first place, and why your support is so important in our success.

The truth is, we all know America is going through something right now. We seem to be living from crisis to crisis. But there are certain things that should be really simple:

Like living a middle-class life.

And preserving our rights and our democracy so that our kids can live their version of the American dream.

I’m running for Senate because I believe that we need leaders that work hard and never forget that we are public servants.

But my decision to run for Senate is also deeply personal to me, and it's related to what motivated me to first run for the House in 2018.

It's about my mom. She was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer in 2009 -- and didn't have health insurance at the time. She had let it lapse after the insurance companies had gouged her for years because she happened to have a pre-existing condition. She passed away in 2011, but that experience -- of desperately trying to get her care at the same moment we were filling out bankruptcy paperwork -- motivated me to run then, and keeps me motivated to fight now. I remember the exact moment that I decided to enter public office: when the House of Representatives, the body I now serve in, voted to repeal those protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

By winning this Senate seat, we’ll help ensure that we retain the (slight!) majority and can pass legislation that expands access to healthcare.

Donations that come in this fall -- when we’re in the home stretch -- are important. But donations now are even more important, because they allow us to map out a strategic plan and make decisions about when and how we reach voters.

That is why I would love it if you would consider donating $15 or whatever you can to my campaign and Amy Klobuchar’s today.

Thank you,

Elissa
